- ** NMAIL.EXE version 1.2 **
-
-
- Pegasus Mail [ (c) David Harris ] is an excellent mail system
- for Novell NetWare. It provides great flexibility and tight
- integration with Netware which makes it a number one choice in my
- opinion.
-
- NMAIL is a small utility that can replace the original NEWMAIL program
- that is included with Pegasus Mail and will give you more freedom
- as to the format you want newmail information displayed.
-
- NMAIL can be run from the SYSTEM LOGIN SCRIPT which is mainly where
- you would use the many switches to customize the output of NMAIL.
- This includes both running NMAIL using the #NMAIL way, or activating it
- using a batchfile and the EXIT statement.
-
- NMAIL can also be used at the dos prompt to see from whom you received
- mail and what the subject of their message is. You can then decide if you
- want to run PMAIL to read your message or wait until a later stage.
-
- It is a bit difficult / cumbersome to remember all the switches if you run
- it from DOS - so make yourself a batchfile or be satisfied with the
- default configuration. The whole point of using NMAIL is that because it is
- so fast, you need not start PMAIL for every message you receive. Spending
- time typing switches could better be used to start PMAIL and read your
- mail.
-
-
- Usage is as follow :

-
- NMAIL will parse newmail information in the Pegasus style, it
- supports MHS headers, and it is supposed to work in a multi server
- environment reading newmail information from all attached servers.
-
- NMAIL is totally free (not share-ware, no restrictions).
-
